gp_configuration_history

The gp_configuration_history table contains information about system changes
related to fault detection and recovery operations. The fts_probe process
logs data to this table, as do certain related management utilities such as
gpcheck, gprecoverseg, and gpinitsystem.
For example, when you add a new segment and mirror segment to the system, records for these
events are logged to gp_configuration_history.

The event descriptions stored in this table may be helpful for troubleshooting serious system
issues in collaboration with Pivotal Support technicians.

This table is populated only on the master. This table is defined in the
pg_global tablespace, meaning it is globally shared across all databases in
the system.
